MacOS Mojave font rendering quality

I just upgraded my Mac OS to Mojave, and for some reason it feels/looks like text renders or displays a little bit fuzzier or denser than before (primarily in Mac apps like Mail and the finder, not so much Adobe apps and such). Anyone else notice this? I don't know technically speaking that this is even possible without a hardware change (it's the same computer), but it's enough that something is bothering me about it. Maybe just me and in my head?

This did help some but the more I kept looking at it, I still noticed something was off. Basically the font smoothing was still turned off via howtogeeks process, it only gave settings to tweak. This article appears to give the command to turn back on: http://osxdaily.com/2018/09/26/fix-blurry-thin-fonts-text-macos-mojave/ It did seem to help and I made sure the box was checked for "Use font smoothing when available" in the System Preference > General options.
